00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.560
this drill is my view of shot shaping so I've got my visual alignment station
2
00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:10.500
here and basically what I'm going to do so visual alignment I've got target
3
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:10.680
line
4
00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:17.280
middle of my stance roughly 45 roughly 45 I'm gonna hit a few shots trying to
5
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:22.180
curve the ball for you so first what I'll do is I'll hit a couple just kind of
6
00:00:22.180 --> 00:00:35.920
stock shots so I'll hit this is just a stock 7 iron kind of like so try to do
7
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.380
one more
8
00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:50.260
that was a little better okay so that's kind of a stock view of what's going on
9
00:00:50.260 --> 00:00:58.400
from my point of view now instead of keeping the same target I'm just going
10
00:00:58.400 --> 00:01:07.640
to adjust to hit about a 10 yard draw or a 10 yard fade so without normal this
11
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.020
will be a little feel a little odd so I'm gonna pick a target that's now about
12
00:01:11.020 --> 00:01:15.700
20 yards left of where that last ball finished and I'm going to you'll see
13
00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:21.420
close the face so that I can guarantee a little bit more of this hook movement
14
00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:28.100
and then I'm going to force myself to swing a little bit more into out
15
00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:41.480
so I had a little bit of draw but not quite what I'm going for so we're this
16
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:50.960
one we're gonna go for a little bit more closed face just like so that was a
17
00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:51.140
good
18
00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:57.560
hook so that one had easily started kind of where I wanted to and then had 20
19
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:57.640
or
20
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:04.960
30 yards of hook to it now we'll let go for the fade so just slightly weakening
21
00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:08.560
my grip because really what I'm gonna have to try to do is come a little bit
22
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.480
more over the top so that the face stays open kind of like so
23
00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:26.120
so now we'll try a couple at a little bit higher speed so this is hopefully
24
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.240
going to come in a little bit clearer so now I'm going to hit that hook again
25
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.240
basically keep my feet the same
26
00:02:38.560 --> 00:03:08.480
so that had a pretty good amount of hook too
27
00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:14.280
it and now we'll hit one where we try to go for the fade
28
00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:57.280
so that was kind of my high-fade something like so
29
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:09.680
now just to kind of dial it back in let's get a stock shot kind of like that
30
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:25.520
that'll give you a perspective of what it looks like from my view when I'm
31
00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:32.200
hitting these stock draws or my stock swing gets adjusted for draws and fades
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.560
this drill is my view of shot shaping so I've got my visual alignment station
